Note:
"This path-breaking study explores the experience of Italian migrants to Australia between 1860 and 1962. Jackie Templeton employs the letters exchanged between Valtellinese migrants and their families to trace the extraordinary story of these sojourners who came from the mountains to the bush. Complemented by fascinating family and social histories, 124 letters are reproduced in full"--Jacket. - Includes bibliographical references (p. 353-361)
